(To be signed by authorized signatory(ies) of Developer)

The undersigned certifies on behalf of itself and all proposed Subcontractors (at all tiers) that only domestic steel and iron will be used in the Project.

A. Proposer shall c omply with the Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) Buy

America Requirements of 23 CFR 635.410, which permits FHWA participation in the Contract only if domestic steel and iron will be used on the Project. To be considered domestic, all steel and iron used and all products manufactured from steel and iron must be produced in the United States, and all manufacturing processes, including application of a coating, for these materials must occur in the United States. Coating includes all processes which protect or enhance the value of the material to which the coating is applied. This requirement does not preclude a minimal use of foreign steel and iron materials, provided the cost of such materials does not exceed 0.1% of the Contract Price.

B. A false certification is a criminal act in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001. Should this

Contract be investigated, Proposer has the burden of proof to establish that it is in compliance.

C.

At Proposer’s request, TxDOT may, but is not obligated to, seek a waiver of Buy

America requirements if grounds for the waiver exist. However, Proposer certifies that it will comply with the applicable Buy America requirements if a waiver of those requirements is not available or not pursued by the TxDOT.

Proposer should disclose (a) any current contractual relationships with

TxDOT, (b) any past, present, or planned contractual or employment relationships with any TxDOT member, officer, or employee; and (c) any other circumstances that might be considered to create a financial interest in the contract by any TxDOT member, officer, or employee if Proposer is awarded the contract.

TxDOT would incur as a result of Principal’s failure to satisfy the obligations under the
